Title: Iso-LSD Conversion and Potassium Methoxide
Post by: Bubbleplate on July 07, 2004, 03:21:00 AM
The standard method for converting Iso-LSD to LSD is to mix a 1N Potassium Hydroxide solution in methanol with the iso-LSD and then let stand for a few hours to allow the amide to re-equilibrate.
Potassium Methoxide seems to be an even better compound to use for the conversion. Does anyone have a good procedure for making Potassium Methoxide, say along the lines of

Patent US2278550 (http://l2.espacenet.com/dips/viewer?PN=US2278550&CY=gb&LG=en&DB=EPD)

?

>KOH is VERY EASILY obtainable and VERY CHEAP!!!

If you have access to LSD in gram quantities, getting KOH is peanuts.
